DSD calls for evidence on WCA

16 Jul 2013

The Department for Social Development has commissioned Dr Paul Litchfield, a senior occupational physician, to undertake the fourth Independent Review of the Work Capability Assessment (WCA), as required by section 10 of the Welfare Reform Act (Northern Ireland) 2007.

As part of the review, the Department has sent out a call for evidence 'aimed at individuals and organisations who have information that is relevant to how the Work Capability Assessment is operating and what further changes, if any, are needed to improve the process.'
